The court finds that there is sufficient basis for South Africa to have filed its complaint at the court, and rejects Israels request for the case to be thrown out.

The court has "taken note" of statements made by senior Israeli officials, including Yoav Gallant's saying that the IDF are "fighting human animals" and President Isaac Herzog's words that "an entire nation out there is responsible" and that there are no "uninvolved" civilians.

The International Court of Justice determines 'at least some of the rights claimed by South Africa and for which it is seeking protection are plausible, the right of Palestinians in Gaza to be protected from Genocide'.

    Not only that but they basically spent 30 minutes reading further evidence into the record. While the ruling itself is not 100%, the premise of the ruling were very certain. There is no ambiguity about what is Israel has already done. They accepted without caveats (like implying hamas might be lying about it) a death toll in the mid 20ks.
